You know, what I think is also part of Russian war plan? The green deal. Think about what had been happening in Europe for past couple of decades. Emission limits, proven technologies being forced out. We have lost much of heavy industry, part of which is defense industry, but more importantly, the industries that feed the defense industry materials have almost all left for Asia and America and now, we're having major problems finding and manufacturing arms and ammunition to support a country, that got invaded by one of their guarantors, while another doesn't even mention their obligation to defend them (USA) and the last one would be unable to defend their shores from a platoon of determined swimmers (UK) (pointing to Budapest memorandum). We've made regulatory environment in Europe outright toxic to these now sorely missed industries. They even tried to push this environmental BS into NATO and generally security circles, which at one point seriously debated electric powered tanks and BFVs, pointing out their lower emissions and ecological impacts when compared to ones equiped with normal propulsion systems, completely neglecting their shortcomings, which are now coming to haunt those, who voted for these measures in normal civilian cars, as we have seen in a fairly recent blackout situation in Utrecht. Spare a moment, how would Ukrainian army have fought, if they had switched from normal to electric trucks, that take minutes and hours to recharge, when a normal combustion engine truck takes seconds to minutes. And that is assuming comparable ranges and capabilities to navigate terrain! (which they are not, given electric cars are about 1/3 heavier). We don't need to rethink our role in the world just because there is a war, that will draw us in eventually, on our doorsteps. That is the preverbial straw that broke the camel's back, yet politians in the EU comission as well as in European parlaiment, or even in some national parlaiments are refusing to abandon this mad green scheme, which had already cost Europe dearly.
